CONNECTING THE DOTS

Co-create your life journey

Most
people stumble through their teens, stagger through their twenties and meander
into their thirties. By forty, they
suffer a mid-life crisis before bumping into the Big “5” “0”.

From 50,
they face the last third of their lives with a sense of a downhill slide. Most never lived any “great” moments or
vanquished any dragons let alone navigated a great sailing ship called the
Black Pearl like Captain Jack Sparrow.
None took off through space like the Next Generation on the Starship
Enterprise.

Most
Americans enjoy two-week vacations with scant time to climb Mt. Everest or raft
the Amazon. Others feel so locked into
their jobs that nothing or no one can change their fate.

What if
teens and twenties changed the course of their existence by co-creating their
lives with a greater power, a higher understanding and a plan to enjoy their way
of life?

Captain
Jean Luc Picard said, “Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. It
reminds us to cherish each moment, because it will never come again. What we
leave behind is not as important as how we have lived.”

Breathe
that statement into your spirit.
Incorporate it into your mind.
Engage it with your passions.

What turns
you on in your daily existence? What
moves you to action? What calls you?

For every
human being on Earth, a little engine inside calls for “something” to activate
a life-calling. How do you find out
which path calls you?

What
heroes do you follow? Why? What great moments in history move you? How
do you feel when you study a certain subject?
What books engage your interest? What
famous movie role inspires you?

It’s my
contention that you discover your life path by following the slightest thread
of your desires. From there, you make
your intentions.

If you
remember Star Wars, Luke Skywalker landed his fighter space craft in a bog
where the fabled Yoda lived on some far-flung planet. The bog felt dense,
steamy, depressing and foreboding.
Luke’s spacecraft sank into the muck.

After some
time, Yoda discovered the young Luke Skywalker.

“Why have
you come?” asked Yoda.

“I need to
know how to engage the Force,” replied Skywalker.

“You must
believe in yourself,” said Yoda. “The
Force moves in and through you. It engages every cell in your body. You must open up to something better. You must open to and flow with your
beliefs. You need to align with your
higher energies. The universe moves in
your favor. Understand and harness that Force.”

“But how?”
asked Skywalker.

“You see
your fighter space craft stuck in the bog?” asked Yoda.

“Yes, it’s
stuck,” said Skywalker. “Just like me
with the Force.”

“You must
open to the creative energies of the Force,” said Yoda. “You must surrender and
receive. You must believe. In the end
you must weave your own story.”

“That’s a
bunch of grand claptrap,” said Skywalker.

“Okay, use
the Force to lift your craft out of the bog and set it on dry land,” said Yoda.

“I’ll
try,” said Skywalker.

He engaged
his mind. The craft moved a little, but quickly, Skywalker gave up.

“I don’t
think I can do it,” said Skywalker.

“You can’t
just ‘try’ young Luke Skywalker,” said Yoda.
“You must know you can do it.”

With that,
Yoda raised his hands, aimed his mind at the craft, and lifted it out of the
bog onto dry land.”

“I don’t
believe it,” said Skywalker.

“That’s
why you failed in your own attempt,” said Yoda.

On this
long journey of your life, you must co-create your life path with the creative
energy within you. You possess all the
tools and all the ingenious energy to engage a positive, useful, purposeful and
happy life.

Open to
possibilities daily, engage the flow, and receive the favors of the universe.
Finally, weave your story toward co-creating your dynamic life. Take action
toward your chosen destiny.
